2024 Boise Soul Food Festival
August 10, 2024
Julia Davis Park, Boise, ID
ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
The mission of the Boise Soul Food Festival is to educate and grow the Boise African American culture for present and future generations.
The Soul Food Festival’s purpose is to celebrate and educate the greater Treasure Valley region about African-American culture in order to enhance and nurture racial understanding and harmony within the community.
WHAT WE DO
Our programs include an annual Soul Food Festival that showcases African-American inspired soul food, music, dancing, and businesses. The festival may include workshops or demonstrations to educate the public about African-American history, traditional dances and music, hair care, and/or current social justice issues.
Brown Like Me
Brown Like Me is a place of belonging for
Black youth in Idaho’s Treasure Valley.
In a region where our Black children are often the minority in their schools, activities, the grocery store, and even at home, Black Like Me delivers programming that allows them to see the beauty of being Black.
Monthly club meetings and other regular events provide our youth with activities that build self-esteem and expose them to Black culture, connect them to Black mentors and community leaders, and, just as important, deliver opportunities to just be around friends who look like them.
Additionally, we offer a forum for parents of Black youth to share their experiences in a safe setting, and for adoptive parents to learn about the importance of cultivating ties to their child’s culture.
